Lasts long

Pixel 3 XL comes with a battery that charges fast and wirelessly, and lasts all day. It's even smart enough to limit battery usage for the apps you don't use often to keep you going longer.³

Warranty replacement (bad screen)

Best Buy was excellent and reshipped to me no hassle a replacement Pixel 3 XL using via next day air. After 4 days the screen malfunctioned and had a vertical magenta line on the screen. Minus one star for only getting 4 days out of the pixel 3 before a hardware failure. Best Buy sent me a prepaid return label for the first phone. Not sure if everyone gets a reship like that no-hassle for similar product issues; was it because it was inside the normal return exchange window or was it was because I'm a my Best Buy elite plus member? Regardless please with that replacement experience. (As of this writing I'm at day 11 with the replacement and all is still good. fingers crossed)
Took advantage of the black friday deal and paid using the Verizon Device Payments to get the discounted pricing. After paying the first device payment to Verizon the "Pay off device" option enabled a few days later and I paid off the remaining balance successfully to be out from under the no longer under contract for the device. So Verizon Device Payments are kosher for me since they have the escape early payoff option.
The pixel 3 supports 5W Qi wireless charging but doesn't support 10W Qi wireless charging. The Pixel 3 only supports "Google's 10W proprietary wireless charging technology." and only chargers vetted through google's "Made for Google" program get fast charging. The "Made for Google" Google Pixel Stand Wireless Charger is priced at the very healthy price of $79! They seem to finally be getting in stock now but $79 is a lot of coin for a wireless charger. Was it really that hard to support the already existing and widely available wireless fast charging (not invented by Google) ? I'd like to subtract half a star for that since Google proprietary stuffs since crippleware is a pet peeve of mine. But since I can't subtract a half star I'll round up so we're still at 4 stars.
So it's mostly the build quality longevity issue with the screen that's the concern for me but only time will tell. With the black friday pricing I'm mostly happy so far the value is there. There are lots of new features that I still have not gotten into the habit of fully utilizing. If the phone still has no hardware problems after a couple of years I would add back the star I subtracted.

My Favorite Phone Ever - My First Google Pixel!!

This is my first Google Pixel phone (my 4th smartphone), and I'm so impressed by it that I'm in love! So far it has to be my favorite phone I've ever had. However, it was the most expensive phone I've ever purchased, which I normally wouldn’t pay so much (my Samsung S7 was my second and the Motorola Moto X 2nd Gen Designed by You being my first smartphone/the cheapest that I had only paid $31 total; 1 cent for the phone, $30 to upgrade plus tax). Speaking of price, that's the one thing that was stopping me from buying the Pixel 3/3XL was the price tag, which is unnecessary no matter which version, to be honest. Other than that, I'm so happy with my purchase and I certainly recommend it!
I've always had either a Samsung or a Motorola phone - whichever was the cheapest (between 2 flip phones and 3 smartphones over the years with those brands), but this time I decided to splurge and get the Pixel phone because I heard so many great things about it. I'm so glad I made the change! I switched from the Samsung Galaxy S7 (my first Samsung smartphone - in general, my 3rd smartphone). It was time for a new phone, considering the Samsung phone is still in wonderful condition, inside and out, it's just the battery wasn't holding its own anymore and I was constantly charging it between 2 to 4 times a day depending on what I was using it for/how long and always carrying a charger everywhere I'd go. I was so over it.
When I was shopping for phones, I was comparing/debating between the new Pixel 3/3XL and the new Samsung 9 Note or even waiting until 2019 for the newest Samsung folding phone, but I always went back to the Pixel (as I desperately needed a new phone; replacing a 3-year-old phone), so I couldn't wait any longer. Between both phones, they both have their pros and cons (no phone is perfect, though if only to combine those 2 together it would be close to perfect), but again, I went back to the Pixel.
I love that the Pixel has a lot to offer, and Samsung too (one of the reasons why I hate Apple products - they don't offer much and they're boring to me for such steep prices, in my opinion), but one of the things that drew me into the Google Pixel was the camera; my goodness does it take amazing photos! I've always wanted a phone that could be almost as good as a digital camera, at least for a phone, and I think the Pixel nailed it for the most part (though I'm big on zooming into long distances, so I wish the zoom lens on any phone for that matter would be better). The screen is huge, which I love. I've never had a big screen before, and now I don't think I could ever go back to a small screen ever again, lol. I think the phone is easy to use when you get the hang on the functions/swiping such as I don't even miss the home button. Login onto your phone with the fingerprint reading is fast, and I use it way more than I did on my Samsung. And also I've never cared for it on my Samsung, but I love using Google Assistant, it's very helpful. And the battery is amazing, for now. Let's see if it holds up over time.
Some downfalls (besides the price); that notch is an eyesore and huge. I never liked notches, though they don't bother me much now that I have a phone with one, at the same time, that notch is killing me. There has to be some way to work around it. And I hate that there's no headphone jack. Why remove it?? I love the headphones it comes with, don't get me wrong, but they could have kept the jack because it makes it convenient to have while having a type-c charging port.
I’ve had this phone for about a month now and I seriously love it! And I think you will too.

Pixel Line gets better

I was a Samsung fan person for many years always getting the Note line of phones... until I got the Note 7 which was the best phone i ever owned... until it got recalled(potential to catch fire)... so I switched over to the original Google Pixel XL two years ago thinking I would jump on the Note 8 when it came out... but no, the original Google Pixel XL worked flawless and fast and never bogged down and no bloatware just pure Android and Google updates always fast and timely. Now two years later I was sitting at Best Buy the sales person had the Note 9 in front of me writing up the paperwork and I took one look back at the Pixel 3 XL and told him to stop and let me get the Pixel 3 XL I am not sure why I can't put my finger on it exactly the Note 9 is an awesome phone and after my Note 7 I though I would miss the pen that comes with the Note line but I did not... The notch on the Pixel 3 XL is not that bad once you have it a week or two as a matter of fact I have shown people my phone and if I don't mention the notch they don't notice it... but the phone is just awesome, fast, unlimited cloud for Pictures and Videos, the best camera of all the 2018 flagship phones and not one ounce of bloatware on it and some of the Google extras like Screen Calls, Google Assistant and the use of the Pixel Stand ... I hate when I have apps on my phones that I will never use and I can't delete them it is like having SiriusXM on your car you keep seeing the icon and you don't use it drives me nuts but that is just me! With the deal I got from Best Buy plus it came with the Pixel stand(79.00 dollar value) it was a no brainier and a decision that I don't regret staying with the Google line of Pixel phones.

10/10 Software; 8/10 Hardware.

I would give a 4.5/5 since this phone isn't perfect. But it's pretty close. I'll round up since I'm sure people will be leaving bad reviews because of the notch. It's understandable to not like the notch. I get it. I'm not a huge fan of the notch. But you can easily hide it if it really bothers you. Go with the XL if you want a bigger screen, higher screen pixel density, and a Samsung panel. Go with the regular 3 if you want no notch, and a smaller body. Otherwise they're practically the same phone. The battery size difference ends up evening itself out. So either phone will have similar battery life.
The hardware isn't perfect, but it's not bad. Google handles the 4 gigs of RAM fine. I wish it had a headphone jack and expandable storage but that is a complaint on a lot of phones in 2018. It doesn't have the best hardware on the market, but that's not why I gave it 5 stars.
The software is incredible. Stock Android, amazing camera and camera features, assistant call screening, etc. This phone has some serious software inside of it.

Best Phone on the Market

So you have Android people and you have iPhone people. I am a little of both. Used iOS and Android. In our family we have iPhone 7, 8, XS and XR as well as Pixel 3 XL, 2 XL, and an essentials. We also have iPad pro, air 2, and 6th gen. Needless to say we are very diverse and can give an unbiased review.
While I would say that the iPhone are the most reliable phones on the market due to their matched and polished OS to the hardware (like a perfect marriage) I feel the Pixel 3 XL is the best phone on the market due to the fact that it is not only Rock solid and reliable but also had an amazing camera, very customizable OS, and a very fast buttery smooth pure Android. The screen is bright, clear, and responsive. The two forward facing speakers sound very crisp and clear, and the fingerprint scanner for id is very fast and accurate. I have zero complianta about the phone itself.
Now I will say if you deep into the Apple ecosystem (imessage, FaceTime, airdrop, continuity with other Apple devices) then this may not be for you if you think your going to miss these areas of iOS.

Hated it then loved it

I remember getting the pixel 2 over the note 8 and I was upset. But eventually learned to love it and be happy with it. A couple of weeks ago I ran into the same issue, Note 9 or Pixel 3 XL. I had already said in my head this phone was hideous and there is no reason to get it. But when the moment came idk why the mental debate began.
Long story short, Best buy offered big discounts on this phone and so I went for it.
Regretted it right away as for some reason I kept running into note 9 adds.
When I got the phone I was upset. That hideous notch... That huge chin... Why on Earth did I get this phone...
But I'm in love. I don't get why really. The notch is still there and the huge chin but the phones experience is like no other. There is something so free about the pixels.
If you're an Android lover I think the pixel is really the best way to experience it.
Also I love the screen now. LOVEEEE, LOVEE, LOVEE MY CAMERA.
Love how I can work comfortably from my phone.
It really is an amazing phone.

As expected-- no issues

I previously had a Nexus 6P, then a Pixel XL, then a Pixel 2 XL. The 3 XL is exactly as expected. Noticeably faster than the 2 in everyday tasks (e.g. navigating my unified email folder that was becoming laggy on the 2). It could be my case, but the phone feels thinner in my hand. The new navigation with the "pill" took me all of 2 days to get used to, so that was fine too. Most importantly, there is no manufacturer bloat and updates come quickly, so it's as secure as an Android phone is going to get, which is my primary reason for buying it. I've read about the excellent low-light pictures, but I haven't had a chance to try it out. I expect that will be a nice plus as well.
I will say, the new Note does look nicer lying on a table (I haven't actually used one), so you might want to check that out before committing to this. If you've had a Pixel before, this is probably exactly what you'd expect to get.

Great upgrade from iPhone 6+

This is my first Android phone and I’m very pleased with the switch. The Pixel 3XL actually transferred the majority of my apps so that the switch was fairly seamless. I did have to log into my various accounts, but no big deal. A few of my special apps for photography did require a new subscription. Photo transfer is easy via either my Free Google Drive account on gmail or by enabling the USB for file transfer. Pictures are outstanding unless you try to zoom to max: while the AI delivers a pleasing picture, the details look a bit like a painting (which may be good for some users). Night shots are outstanding, as is the motion mode to let the phone or yourself pick the best shot from a series. I did buy the wireless charging stand which charges the phone very quickly and works like a Google appliance and alarm clock. Goodbye, Apple and Mr. Scott!

Best answer: You have either option. The payment plan is where you get your savings and once you're in, you can pay it off through Verizon after, if you don't like having the payments. They will dock the savings from your remaining balance.
